Wow Bryon, you have a very strong opinion about Barton. I am glad it is just an opinion. I personally believe that he is correct when he says that the textbooks focus on Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin when they were just two men out of many who helped to form our Declaration and Constitution. If you were not so biased about Christianity or God rather, you would see that humans are capable of lying and lying in print as well. It is up to our colleges to buy the texts and then they sell it to their students. I think it should be against the law to sell things as fact when they are not. He has the documentation and I think you know it and it just eats away at your very core that God may be real and that you have someone to be accountable to for your sins. Just remember though, Jesus paid the way, so you do not need to be mad.

Wow. There really are a lot of uneducated, America-hating, Freedom & Liberty-loathing, Christian Taliban scumbags hanging around, waiting to drool their hate-filled garbage in these comments. By the way…it’s BARTON that is the “revisionist,” you idiots. It is BARTON who claims to know “better” than EVERY HISTORIAN ON THE PLANET. He is no better than a Holocaust Denier. Of course, any of you would know this…if you had actually gone to college…or read history books…or anything other than beating up homosexuals and shooting abortion doctors.

“Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid, or produces only atheists and fanatics.” — Thomas Paine (Founding Father)

Sincerely,

Bryon Morrigan, (…who has an MA in History, and is therefore 1000% more qualified to speak on the subject than David Barton…)

Chris Rhodda is another left-wing nut media lackey who seeks to demonize Christian Nationalism, and propagate a Secular Humanist revisionist history upon the USA & other historically Christian nations. One of Rhodda’s problems is that Christian Nationalism is as old as the first Christian nation — Armenia, Georgia, or Ethiopia by various reckonings — and the last 250 years of of the Roman Empire. America’s history BEGINS with Christian Nationalism, as the stated goal of both the VA Charter & Mayflower Compact.

But who really are the people who so vilified by Rhodda and his leftest cronies? The vast majority of the American People are the “duped masses” Rhodda seeks to convert to his twisted world view. Providentially, Americans may put Rhodda into shock, if they elect a Perry or Bachmann in 2012. A similar event serves as a healthy precedent, the election of Christian Nationalist Ronald Reagan in 1980.

+ Perry/Bachmann 2012….God SAVE The USA!

You Know…people like this should just go READ HIS TORY! You cannot read HISTORY without seeing what GOD has done in AMERICA. Go read about the GREAT AWAKENING in the 1700′s and the second GREAT AWAKENING in the 1800′s and the PENTECOSTAL Awakening in the 1900″s and the CHARISMATIC Awakening in the 1950′s. YOU HAVE TO BE PRETTY DUMB TO CALL YOURSELF A HISTORY BUFF AND NOT READ HISTORY. AMERICA HAS BEEN DUMBED DOWN. DAVID BARTON IS RIGHT ON AND GIVING US A TRUE PICTURE OF HISTORY.

Sadly Chris Rodda claims he is the ARCH RIVAL of D. Barton, wow what a sad commentary. That’s like claiming to be the Evil Twin of Obama, Hitler, Marx and any other anti God, Anti American that ever lived. Wow, pride cometh before the fall Chris and ignorance, which is unknowing and stupid is choosing to be clueless is a sad legacy. The only ignorance here is sticking your head in the sand and being willing to drink the kool-aid. Thank God for Bachman, for Barton, for people who have some character and integrity instead of the left wing haters of anything moral and true.

That Barton is one sick individual. Is he for real? Are there actually folks that agree with this trash talk? What truth? This man spreads hate. That is not what god wants. Has this country’s people come to this way of thinking? The way the world is heading, this trash talking individual is an example why. Anyone that likes this radicals book and writings have too much hate in them. They are sick sheeple. If this barton is a good man he would not preach this trash. Yes he has his right to freedom of speech. I have mine. These are my views of such trash talk. He probably makes a good living getting support from the religious right nut cases.

Chris:
Keep up the fight against this ignorance. It is ironic that the ignoramuses come to you complaining about the lack of documentation. Your book is one of the most meticulously-documented exposes I have ever read. That certainly contrasts with Barton’s outright fraud and fabrications. You have a gift for detail. Thank you for your hard work, but as the writers above show, it will be an uphill battle.

Mr. Rodda, on May 8th, you replied to Deanna Jacobs that you had posted links to your two series where you go into detail debunking Barton’s lies. You close with asking her, “Did you miss that part?”

In her defense, I must point out that due to the ill-designed CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) of this website, hyperlinks in body text are not readily visible to anyone not specifically looking for them. It’s traditional to have them either be underlined, and/or in some contrasting shade of color from the body text (usually, but not always, blue), and to have them change color and/or underlining when the mouse hovers over them. But even without mouse hover, they should either be underlined or in a contrasting color so that people know that they’re there even without having to mouse over every single word in the body text of the article.

The CSS here does do a mouse-over underline and color change (in a reddish shade), and does have a SUBTLE color difference when not hovered over, but it’s very subtle and there is no underline without the mouseover. This makes it very hard for someone whose eyesight isn.t the best and/or whose monitor’s color accuracy isn’t perfect (most cheap LCD monitors can only display thousands, not millions, of distinct shades of color, and nearly all home and small office PC or Mac monitors of any type are either uncalibrated or miscalibrated — only graphics artists tend to fork over the money for color-calibrated monitors and the special calibrating sensors and software needed to keep them that way over time).

I didn’t see the links myself until I hovered over most of the body text.

So, to answer your question: yes, she very likely DID miss that part, through NO fault of her own.

That said, thank you for keeping up the good fight against Barton and his ilk!

After reading your revisionists writings, I was reminded that anyone can publish their bigoted, narrow minded, historically inaccurate, filtered through the prism of hate opinions on the Internet and claim them to be factual. I would suggest that you employee an independent editor to review your writings and separate opinion from historical facts before publication. Of course that would require critical thinking, and I failed to see any examples of that practice in your writings. You should send your resume to the New York Times, they employee a lot of writers with your same beliefs, opinions and values.

You are a sad sad person and all the LIES you spew will one day bite you on the rump. If David Barton said the sky was purple I would be more inclined to believe him than any of the filth you spit out of your God hating mouth. Mr Barton has historical proof on the things he teaches and while he may miss quote someone every now and then, let me say He who is with out sin cast the first stone.

Nov 2nd will be a eye opening for liberals that WE THE PEOPLE are taking our country back from the liberal idiots who think they are so much smarter than everyone else.
